Regarding the trimming plug Jeremy. I understand what you are saying about the rack position sensor but in this post, M-Shop member Bstef says otherwise on post #11…. Maybe controlling the emissions output also has some effect on the idle. (Pic #1 of the trimming plug is from Bstef)

The OVP relay is found behind the glove compartment. Check the fuse there. See pic #2 from Bstef on the attachment.

The Kilma Relay controls the A/C compressor. It starts and shuts it down. My theory is a possibility the Kilma disrupting the OVP Relay which causes the Tach and A/C not to work.
